Stop This Train

No I'm not colorblind

I know the world is black and white

I try to keep an open mind but

I just can't sleep on this tonight

 

Stop this train

I wanna get off

and go home again

I can't take the speed It's movin' in

I know I can't but honestly

Won't someone stop this train?

 

Don't know how else to say it

Don't wanna see my parents go

I’m one generation's length away

From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train

I wanna get off

and go home again

I can't take the speed It's movin' in

I know I can't but honestly

Won't someone stop this train?

I’m so scared of getting older

I'm only good at being young

So I play the numbers game

To find a way to say my life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man Said, "Help me understand"

He said, "Turn 68""You’ll renegotiate"

"Don't stop this train" and "Don't for a minute change" "The place you're in"

"And don't think I couldn't" "Ever understand"

"I’ve tried my hand" "Son, honestly"

"We'll never stop this train."

Oh, once in a while

When its good

It'll feel like it should

and they're all still around

and we’re still safe and sound

and you don't miss a thing

Till you cry when you're drivin' away in the dark

Singing stop this train

I wanna get off and go home again

I can't take the speed It's movin in

I know I can't 'cause now I see

I'll never stop this train
